Another thing I've never quite understood. Many here believe in the power of prayer. Why not advocate prayer over the goods and services for changed hearts and souls. Not a public display to agitate the gay customers. But in a quiet, but effective way. Let God do his work.
I once say a church sign that we are to be fisher's of men. Our job is to catch them. It's God's job to clean them. A public display often will have the opposite effect.
You have hit on my plan. Mr G and I had this very conversation last night. Yesterday I did a wedding cake for a friend of my son. The minister was from the Universal Life (pretend) Church. Our discussion was how is this any different than serving a gay wedding?
Both are against my Christian beliefs, but I had no way of knowing that this wedding would be conducted by a pretend pastor. I would have no way of knowing if a wedding was to be conducted by a Wiccan.... or any other non Christian ceremony. What about Christians I don't agree with? If I am to stand on only serving people who don't offend my religion, should there be a religious test? Of course not.
Since I am a prayer warrior, my solution is to pray over every cake I do that whoever even takes a bite will come into a right relationship with Jesus. My cake may be the only open door given to God to allow Him to work in someone's life. Prayer works.
If my client is obviously sticking their finger in my eye (i.e. gay) then I might tell them I am praying over the cake and for all. If they believe in God, it may change their minds, if not.... oh well.... my God lives!
Because that would be praying in vain, what with your actions not matching your beliefs.
